Nineteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
Reading I 1 Kgs 19:4-8
Elijah went a day’s journey into the desert, until he came to a broom tree and sat beneath it. He prayed
for death saying: “This is enough, O LORD! Take my life, for I am no better than my fathers.” He lay
down and fell asleep under the broom tree, but then an angel touched him and ordered him to get up
and eat. Elijah looked and there at his head was a hearth cake and a jug of water. After he ate and
drank, he lay down again, but the angel of the LORD came back a second time, touched him, and or-
dered, “Get up and eat, else the journey will be too long for you!” He got up, ate, and drank; then
strengthened by that food, he walked forty days and forty nights to the mountain of God, Horeb.
Reading II Eph 4:30 - 5:2
Brothers and sisters: Do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, with which you were sealed for the day of
redemption. All bitterness, fury, anger, shouting, and reviling must be removed from you, along with all
malice. And be kind to one another, compassionate, forgiving one another as God has forgiven you in
Christ. So be imitators of God, as beloved children, and live in love, as Christ loved us and handed
himself over for us as a sacrificial offering to God for a fragrant aroma.
Gospel Jn 6:41-51
The Jews murmured about Jesus because he said, “I am the bread that came down from heaven, ” and
they said, “Is this not Jesus, the son of Joseph? Do we not know his father and mother? Then how
can he say, ‘I have come down from heaven’?” Jesus answered and said to them, “Stop murmuring
among yourselves. No one can come to me unless the Father who sent me draw him, and I will raise
him on the last day. It is written in the prophets: They shall all be taught by God. Everyone who listens
to my Father and learns from him comes to me. Not that anyone has seen the Father except the one
who is from God; he has seen the Father. Amen, amen, I say to you, whoever believes has eternal
life. I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread
that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die. I am the living bread that came down
from heaven; whoever eats this bread will live forever; and the bread that I will give is my flesh for the
life of the world.”
